Mon, 19 Feb 2018 21:29:06 GMTThese Local LGS ( 60 mile radius ) are way high, i dunno who their distributors are but it is way to marked up. hazmat shipping is 28.50 up to 72 lbs of powder and/or 20k primers. but you pay no tax on out of state items so there's that if you order it. it is insane to save money on one jug of powder including hazmat. Local $197 total. Online $160.69 to my door. for one jug. If i buy 9 jugs off of one hazmat charge its $1773 Local or $1212 online both prices are in my hand, thats around 40% markup between the distributor and local store.

I've been told that it was sold as a surplus military powder originally loaded in 7.62x51mm (.308 Winchester) ammunition contracts. I originally thought it was in about the burning rate of IMR3031 or IMR4064, but the burning rate chart puts it a bit slower than IMR4320 and a bit faster than IMR4350. (But of course I realize that performance and pressures with any smokeless powder can vary with differences in the volumes of cartridge cases.)

Reasonable quantities of it were sold locally about 40 years ago and the long range .308 target shooters from my area loaded and shot a ton of the stuff in their 7.62x51 target rifles out to 1,000 yards. (Sportco's, converted No. 4 Lee Enfields and rebarreled P17 Enfields) I've fallen into a reasonable quantity of this powder and before I start experimenting with some test loads in .308 Win, .303 British, 8mm Mauser, etc., mostly with cast boolits of course, I just thought I'd ask if anyone here might have any experience with it?

If not then I guess I'll let you know how I make out!

Bullets.com has a clearence on their powder and primers.
Selection is decent and some of the prices are right.
I picked up 10000 CCI primers for 234.65 to my door.
Those appear to be gone but you have to admit that was a great price.FYI

Wed, 31 Jan 2018 12:58:45 GMTbought 6 kegs of it about 10 years ago and I'm down to about 4lbs. Its basically aa2 and it was selling for around 50 bucks a keg back then. It is a good clean burning powder that meters about better then anything. I know I could buy some aa2 but at 3 times the price. The good old days of surplus are over! I wish I would have bought 15 kegs of it when it was cheap!

My understanding is that this powder, the old Data powder as opposed to the newer canister 2200, was a surplus powder. Anyone out there ever notice faster or slower lots with it?

Working up a load, I'm using both a Rem 700 in .223 with a 24" barrel, and an AR 5.56 with a 16" barrel. I'm using 55fmj bullets. My chronograph seems to be accurate, as I've tested it with factory rounds that clock pretty much where I expected. The jugs were sealed, look and smell fine.

The issue I'm having is it appears to be slower than expected. I'm going off the data on the jug label, and data for the newer 2200 (close to the same), but the measured velocity is significantly less, by at least 200 fps for the listed maximum. I even went over the listed maximum charge by a fair amount with absolutely no signs of excess pressure, even in the tight .223 chamber.

I'm not terribly concerned about velocity, and accuracy seems good at this point, but this is a significant discrepancy from what I expected. Anyone else experience this sort of thing? If it's a normal variation with surplus powder I'll just continue my load development.

Thu, 25 Jan 2018 09:48:36 GMTWhile browsing through all of their way too high priced guns and reloading stuff, I had to stop and take a picture of this. Itís literally DOUBLE the price that it should be! Come on BPS, letís reel your profit margin in just a little, huh? No wonder they have it in stock!
